CALENDAR  OF  COUNCIL  MINUTES  1668-1783 

PREFACE 

This  calendar  covering  the  executive  minutes  of  the  New  York  colonial 
council  from  1 668-1 783,  was  prepared  by  Mr  Berthold  Fernow,  keeper 
of  historical  records,  shortly  before  his  resignation  Ap.  1,  1889,  and  was 
intended  to  form  with  other  calendars  an  additional  volume  of  the  series 
of  Documents  relative  to  the  colonial  history  of  the  state  of  New  York. 

Numbering  of  volumes.  No  minutes  exist  for  the  period  directly 
following  the  surrender  of  New  Xetherland  to  the  English,  Aug.  29,  1664, 
the  earliest  being  those  of  the  council  convened  by  Gov.  Francis  Lovelace, 
Sep.  2,  1668.  Many  of  the  executive  acts  of  Gov.  Richard  Nicolls's 
administration  are  to  be  found  in  "  General  entries  1664-65  "  and  u  Court 
of  assize,  1665-72,"  which  volumes  were  for  that  reason  listed  by  John 
Van  Ness  Yates  in  his  Report  of  the  secretary  of  state  7'elative  to  the  records, 
etc.  in  his  office,  1820,  as  1  and  2  of  a  set  of  33  volumes  of  colonial  council 
minutes  and  general  entries,  while  the  first  volume  of  regular  council  minutes 
1668-78  was  marked  3.  This  volume  consists  of  two  parts  ;  the  first  end- 
ing July  11,  1673,  and  the  second  beginning  Oct.  31,  1674.  Minutes  for 
the  intervening  period  of  Dutch  control  are  found  in  "  New  York  colonial 
mss  ",  23:  1-270  and  have  been  translated  and  printed  as  "  Minutes  of 
council  of  the  administrations  of  commanders  Evertsen  and  Benckes  and 
of  Anthony  Colve,  governor  of  New  Netherland,  1673  and  1674",  in 
Documents  relative  to  the  colonial  history  of  the  state  of  New  York  ,  2  :  569— 
730.  Toward  the  end  of  the  second  part  of  the  volume  another  interruption 
in  the  minutes  occurs  from  Nov.  10,  1677-Aug.  17,  1678,  including  the 
period  of  Gov.  Edmund  Andros's  visit  to  England  and  the  temporary 
administration  of  Capt.  Anthony  Brockholls.  Minutes  for  this  period 
maybe  found  in  "  New  York  colonial  mss  ",  vol.  26-27. 

A  volume  of  "  General  entries  1671-74  "  having  been  marked  4,  the 
next  volume  of  council  minutes,  covering  the  years  1683-88  is  marked  5,

leaving  a  gap  from  1678  to  1683;  part  of  the  minutes  for  that  period, 
up  to  November  1680,  may  be  fflund  in  "New  York  colonial  mss " 
vol.  29,  while  other  executive  acts  are  recorded  in  "  General  entries  1678- 
80,"  vol.  32,  and  "  Entries  1682-83,"  voh  33-  A  gaP  m  tne  council  minutes 
occurs  again  between  vol.  5,  breaking  off  with  the  last  council  under  Gov. 
Thomas  Dongan  Aug.  2,  1688,  and  vol.  6  beginning  with  the  first  council 
under  Gov.  Henry  Sloughter,  Mar.  19,  1691.  For  the  first  year  of  this 
period,  when  New  York  was  united  with  New  England  under  Gov. 
Sir  Edmund  Andros,  no  regular  proceedings  are  among  the  New 
York  archives,  but  for  the  years  1689-91,  covering  the  administration 
of  Jacob  Leisler,  a  full  record  of  commissions,  appointments,  orders, 
accounts,  etc.  with  numerous  letters  are  found  in  vol.  36  of  "  New  York 
colonial  mss.''  After  vol.  6  the  minutes  form  one  uninterrupted  series 
till  Mar.  11,  1776.  A  few  pages  of  minutes  of  the  councils  o'f  Gov.  James 
Robertson  and  Lt.-gov.  Andrew  Elliott  from  Mar.  23,  1780-Nov.  19,  1783, 
held  at  New  York  city  then  in  the  hands  of  the  British  are  also  recorded. 

Legislative  minutes.  Beginning  with  the  first  regular  colonial  legis- . 
lature,  convened  in  1691  by  Gov.  Sloughter,  the  council  became  a  legislative 
body,  coordinate  with  the  assembly.  Its  legislative  minutes  have  been 
printed  as  the  Journal  of  the  legislative  council  of  the  colotiy  of  New  York 
begun  the  gth  day  ofAp.  1691  a7id  ended  the  3d  day  of  Ap.  1775 \  2  v.  Alb. 
1 86 1,  and  for  that  reason  are  not  entered  in  this  calendar. 

In  vol.  6-8,  executive  and  legislative  minutes  are  kept  separate,  the 
latter  at  the  end  of  each  volume.  Vol.  6  contains  also  the  minutes  of 
the  council  in  its  judicial  capacity  1687-88,  and  vol.  7,  proceedings  of 
the  court  of  oyer  and  terminer,  1679-85.  In  vol.  9-17,  1702-36,  the 
two  functions  were  mingled  and  the  minutes  printed  as  legislative  have 
been  marked  by  a  pen  or  pencil  line  in  the  margin.  Vol.  18,  20,  22,  24, 
27,  28  and  30  contain  only  legislative  minutes  and  were  printed  entire, 
as  also  some  minutes  of  1775-76,  found  in  vol.  26. 

Of  the  greater  part  of  these  minutes  the  state  library  has  two  and  in 
some  cases  even  three  copies.  The  first  and  most  complete  set  described 
above  and  used  for  the  compilation  of  this  calendar,  consists  of  engrossed 
minutes  except  vol.  9-1 1,  which  are  made  up  of  blank  books  of  rough 
copies.  The  second  set,  covering  with  some  interruptions  the  years 
1709-76,  consists  entirely  of  blank  books  from  which  a  few  minutes  not 
found  in  the  bound  volumes  of  engrossed  minutes  have  been  inserted  in 
the  calendar.  The  third  set  containing  the  original  drafts  of  the  pro- 
ceedings of  1754-75  are  in  the  form  of  loose  sheets.

COLONIAL  GOVERNORS  1664-1783 

In  the  following  list  of  colonial  governors  dates  represent,  as  nearly  as 
could  be  ascertained  from  manuscript  sources,  the  actual  beginning  of  each 
administration,  i.  e.  the  first  official  act  of  a  newly  appointed  governor.  For 
a  temporary  administration  the  date  of  the  governor's  departure  has  been 
chosen  in  preference  to  that  of  the  appointment  or  the  oath  of  office  in 
council  of  his  lieutenant.  Beginning  with  Sir  Danvers  Osborne,  10  Oct. 
1753,  all  dates  are  given  according  to  new  style;  for  preceding  dates,  old 
style  has  been  used  in  conformity  with  the  records.  Indiscriminate  use  of 
old  style  and  new  style  dates  in  Civil  list  of  New  York,  New  York  legislative 
manual  and  Harper's  book  of  facts  will  account  for  most  of  the  discrepancies. 

The  list  of  members  of  the  council  printed  below,  is  taken  from  Civil  list 
of  the  colony  and  state  of  New  York,  Alb.  1889,  p.  363-64.

governor,  is  dated  23  May  1668.  Instructions  for  Capn  John  Backer  for  ye

INDEX 


It  has  been  impossible  in  many  cases  to  identify  persons  because  of  incon 
sistencies  in  spelling,  irregularity  in  use  of  'van,'  'sr'  and  'jr'  and  omission  of 
other  designations.  If  there  are  few  references  to  the  same  form  of  name 
they  are  grouped  together,  though  referring  to  more  than  one  person,  unless 
the  text  furnishes  some  means  of  distinction.  The  same  method  is  followed 
for  names  under  which  there  is  a  large  number  of  entries  when  many  can 
not  be  certainly  identified.  In  cases  of  different  spellings  of  what  might  be 
the  same  name,  if  the  identity  seemed  certain,  entries  have  been  made  under 
one  form  with  references  from  other  forms;  if  uncertain,  entries  are  made 
under  the  different  forms,  with  cross  references.  As  it  is  quite  unlikely  that 
all  such  cases  have  been  recognized,  it  will  be  well  to  have  at  hand  all  pos- 
sible variants  of  a  name  one  wishes  to  find.  Where  surname  alone  or  with 
a  distinguishing  title  is  given  the  person  may  be  identical  with  one  entered 
later  under  full  name. 

The  superior  figures  tell  the  exact  place  on  the  page  in  ninths;  e.  g.  558* 
means  page  558  beginning  in  the  third  ninth  of  the  page,  i.  e.  about  one 
third  of  the  way  down.
